The government presented each of the model monasteries with a commemorative plaque and 4,000 yuan (635 U.S. dollars) for each of their law-abiding clergy.
In 2011, the Tibetan government unveiled a scheme to appraise its monasteries and award clergymen who demonstrate patriotic and law-abiding behavior every year. The plan is aimed at encouraging clergymen to promote the maintenance of normal religious order and improve stability in monasteries.
The appraisal and award activities are a good way to comprehensively implement the religious policies of the Communist Party of China (CPC), as well as laws and regulations on administrating religious affairs, said Chen Quanguo, secretary of the Tibet regional committee of the CPC.
